Guest guest Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 I don't know about the Pred, , but I've had tremors since the sarc first went systemic, over 10 years ago. I had to quit using breakable dishes. I'd either drop them or hit them on the cupboard & bust 'em that way. The tremors aren't as bad now unless I'm extra tired, or doing more detailed work. Just using the little keyboard on my phone causes tremors after a few minutes. (Like now!) Clumsy? Argh, I've just broken my second fine china mug in a week! Can high doses of Pred (50 mg) make you clumsy / droppy? xo ------------------------------------ ~~~~ *** ~~~ *** ~~~ *** ~~~~ The Neurosarcoidosis Community Message Archives:- http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Neurosarcoidosis/messages Members Database:- Listings of locations, phone numbers, and instant messengers. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Neurosarcoidosis/database Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 I watch what I have in my hands at times, and keep saying in my mind "don't turn loose, keep gripping", it works pretty good.

They can make you shaky, I broke 4 of my favorite crystal pasta bowls at one time, trying to carry them in my left hand (50% loss of strength) when I feel a while back, I'm still sick about it, so I know how you feel, the shakyness can cause you to lose grip I remember dropping things when I was on high Pred. I'm sorry it just stinks sometimes doesn't it!

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 Good advice Connie, I usually when thinking about it, just don't carry anything heavy in my left hand, as it's the worse hand. I've been doing some exercise with weights and I hope it helps, since the treadmill wasn't working for losing weight, as I could not walk enough, the weights are, I've lost 5lbs, but mostly inches, it's a start, and it's easy and I can do it. But still I shouldn't have had those bowls in my left hand.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 One of my problems is the combination of stubbornness & laziness. I eat in the living room most of the time (dining room table always covered with stuff, most of it mine) & I often try to carry too much at once because I don't want to make another trip (it's probably 10 feet from my chair to the kitchen). Of course, this backfires when I drop my drink or tip my plate over & my food ends up on the floor. Next day I'll do the same thing; trying to do the waitress thing of carrying multiple dishes, etc. Ramblin' RoseCo-owner/Moderator A merry heart is good medicine.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 LOL, my dining room table is always full too, my husbands ask if I could at least keep it all at one end, I try. as for carrying more then one thing at a time, I learned by dropping my favorite dishes and breaking them, not to do that anymore!
